CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect and clean the secondary burn plate, primary burn basket, primary burn tube and
ashtray prior to igniting the stove.
Experience will determine how often you need to clear the secondary burn plate and ashtray
while the stove is in operation.
Experience will determine how often the heat exchanger needs to be cleared of ash build up
(DO NOT ATTEMPT WHILE THE STOVE IS IN OPERATION). HINT – You will be able to see any ash
build up in the heat exchanger by moving the draft slide to the all the way open position. A
shop vacuum works well for heat exchanger ash removal.
NOTE: Failure to keep a clean burn chamber or secondary burn plate can result in poor
stove performance.
NOTE : Letting ash build up into the primary burn basket can cause choking of the
stove and increase the risk of smoldering fuel and/or smoke spillage.
